← Nature & AnimalsWhich effect results when dolphins enter warmer waters after prolonged exposure to freezing seas which triggers increased subcutaneous vasodilation?
A)Peripheral heat loss accelerates rapidly✓
B)Endothermy increases reducing heat transfer
C)Countercurrent exchange optimizes core retention
D)Shivering intensifies, generating additional warmth
💡 Explanation
Heat loss accelerates because vasodilation increases blood flow to the skin surface to modulate internal temperature; therefore, core heat can be rapidly dissipated rather than conserved when in warmer conditions and arteries are expanded.
